Re: Re: Piggyback gardening

Good for you Melody! Fortunately Pat & John adopted that little orange
tabby that I could not run off last night. Even w/ Sugar going after him
and me carrying him off, he kept coming right back. After we came in he
must have gone across the street and gone into John's wood shop and he
just fell in love w/ him. Sweet cat, I hated to run him off, but Sugar
would have torn him to shreds.

Pretty baby about 8 or 9 months old, with a little tuft of white on the
end of his tail. I adore happy endings! He'll be ROTTEN in a week,
guaranteed!
